Still in pjs here but heading for the shower now - suddenly my week seems to be filling up with social events so I'd better do some housework today or we'll be living in a midden
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Would love to say the garden is looking marvellous but it's not, very grey, light drizzle and wet underfoot. Have just two chrysanths flowering and that's it, some lovely shrubs in good colours but now feeling very sheepish about thinking it is worthy of a public viewing.
If I get rejected I will need a lot of TLC later.
On a lighter note love Lowry, the museum in Manchester is super, they also do a great child friendly tour, my little boy loved it.
At the cardiologist a few weeks ago son spotted a Monet on the wall and was very impressed that the doctor should have one of his paintings, he had done topic on Monet previously in school and obviously considers himself a 7 year old expert!
OH in UK this week so will be living off leftovers and mish mash dinners, I love them, OH not so much, starting off with carrot and tarragon soup, a la Delia and btw, last night had carrots roasted in crushed coriander, black peppercorns and garlic, was absolutely gorgeous, again a Delia recipe.
Right, going to see if I can work a small miracle in the garden! Report back later.

Panda what fab carvings! Kids obviously enjoyed themselves
DD I am sure you will walk it
Chicly would be interested to hear about exhibition. Am coming to London Dec
Fairy share some of your ideas for left overs I waste so much and hate doing so
David where are you? 25? Nice
Mrs Garden you do any "homers"
Having day off today. Worked flat out yesterday clearing gutters drains etc. going to go "down the valley " where there are many GC and see if I can get bulb deal.
Nice to wear shoes instead of wellies

Congratulations DD - I don't think any of us who have followed the pictures and tales of your garden restoration had any doubt you'd pass. Bubbly all round?
Know what p'doc means about going back to old work environments. I've worked in a couple of places where I made friends and where I've stayed in touch for many years. Others tho' - collars up & head down hoping I'm not recognised.
We're having our border hedge significantly reduced in height as well as some tree surgery - tree surgeon has just left & will be sending the quote this week. I think it will hurt....

Good morning, thank you for good wishes.

Morning all.

Good luck DD, I have my fingers crossed for you.
Have a lovely evening Chicky.
Lovely carvings Panda.

Morning all.
You'll be fine DD, you've already worked several small miracles in the garden! It was pouring when they inspected my friend's garden.
Must plant more tulips, must do housework. Going to England via my daughter in north of France on Friday. Must do housesitter's room.
Morning all, just back from hospital having my eyes tested, to hopefully prevent my Glaucoma getting as bad as my Mums.
It's funny I hate going into the hospital now in case I bump into former colleagues.
Have a good day.

S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
Phew, we passed, he said it was a lovely garden! Dates for the diary 28th June & 12th July 2015, it'll be perfect by then - honest.
Well done, knew you would. I'm open 17th May, so hopefully can come and see yours, but we are going to Suffolk in July.
Morning everybody
Congratulations DD
